*Be it known that I, JOHN-,WILLihM1WAR- 'BRICK, a citizen ,ofthe United States, re-

siding at Spokane, in the countyof Spokane and State of Washington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Candle-Holders, of which the following is a specification. V f

This invention relates to improvements in candle holders for operatives :such as miners V 7 other equipments.

It is necessary in devices of this character to provide different means of support to accommodate different topographical exigencies, and in the present construction, the device of my invention isequippedwith a hook and a spike-shaped point, the former being adapted-to be'hung from its supporting structure and the latter being adapted to be projected into the structure from which the candle holder is to be supported.

. It is one of the objects of this'invention to provide a frame into which the hook and spike point can be retracted, when the holder is carried about in the pocket of the miner, and from which the hook or spike point maybe projected into an operative position for use. T

It is one of the objects of this invention to provide an improved means whereby the spike point or hook may be turned into and held in retracted position or adjusted and securely held in projected positions.

Other objects and features of'the invention will be more fully described in connection with the accompanying drawing and will be more particularly pointed out in and by the appended claims.

Inthe drawing, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved candle holder with the hook and point adjusted into a projected or operative position, each. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view thereof with both of the supporting devices retracted into the frame. Fig. 3 is a detail detached view of a spring bar for coaction with said hook and point devices.

Like characters of reference designate similar parts throughout the different figures'of the drawing. 7

As shown, my invention includes a frame which is formed of a strip of material, such as metal, bent upon itself to provide'paral Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed February 24, 1915.

Patented Aug. 17, 1915. Serial No. 10,171. a

like guard, the purpose of ,which will presently appear. On side designated by 1, a candle ,holder 4: is mounted inwhich a candle or candle stick may be supported. Between the sides 1 and 2, and preferably between theends of the sides, is movably mounted a hook comprising a shank portion 5 and a 'hook' portion 6. The shank 5 is mounted upon a pivot -7 which extends through, the frame sides 1 and 2 and through thehook shank at a point nearer side Sthereof than side 9, and farther from the butt end 10 than from side8. The disposition ofthe pivot"? is such that when the hook is retractedintothe frame, the hook portion 6 will lie within the guard 3 so that the hook portion cannot catch in the pocket of the wearer or user in such a manner as to be objectionable when the hook is out of a service position.

A spike point element 11 is disposed between the ends 12 and 13 of the sides 1 and 2 and is mounted therein by means of a pivot 14. The pivot l'extends through the spike point nearer its'side 15 than the op posite side 16 and farther from the butt end 17 than from side 15, 1

A spring bar 18 is pivoted between its ends by a pivot 19, to the sides 1 and 2, and the pivot 19 lies between the pivots 7 and 14. Furthermore, the pivot 19 is disposed nearer end 20 than end 21, of the spring bar 18.

Now when the parts are in the position shown in- Fig. 2, there is-very little tension on spring bar 18, but if the hook is projected into the position shown in Fig. 1, then the bar will be tensioned by reason of the distance between the butt end 10 and pivot 7 as compared with the lesser distance between pivot 7 and side 8. Thus tensioned, the hook will be rigidly held in a projected position notwithstanding the fact that the pivots may wear slightly loose.

The spike point 11 will usually be projected into alinement with the frame as shown in Fig. 1, but if required, the spike point will also be projected at right angles to the frame. At any rate, the end 21 will be'tensioned by either position of the spike point and will serve effectively to hold the spike point in its adjusted position so that it may be forced into a stationary part to support the candle holder. Besides acting as pivots for the various parts, the rivets 7, 14 and 19 also act to hold the frame sides in rigid relation.

It is believed that the advantages and utility of my invention will be clearly un-- derstood fromthe foregoing description,

and while I have herein shown and der the frame when projected therefrom, a spike pointpivoted between said sides to project from the ends of the latter when projected and to lie between said sides when retract ed, and a spring bar pivotedibetween said sides at a point between its ends and be tween the polnts of plvotal mounting of 7 said spike point and hook to disposethe ends of said bar in coacting relation with the butt ends of said hook and spike point to hold either of the latter in retracted or (i'opics of this patent may be obtained'for five cents each, by addressing WashingtomDi G.

extended positions, substantially as described.

2. In a candle holder'of the class de scribed, a frame having parallel sides and an open end and having an enlarged guard at its other end, a spike point pivoted at portion will lie Within'the guardfwhen re- 7 tracted, the-pivots of said hook andjspike point being offcenter with respect to the sides thereof and at a greater distance from the bu-ttjends than from'the nearer sides thereof, and a pivotally mounted springbar for coaction with the ends of said hook and spike point'to hold either of the latter in projected or retracted positions, substantially as described. 1

In testimony whereof I .aflix mysignature in presence of two witnesses. I JOHN WILLIAM WARBRIGK.
